Book 36- Letter to my Daughter: a novel

This little novel, Letter to My Daughter by George Bishop, is a little story with a large impact that will make you laugh and cry and even, sometimes, break your heart.

Laura's daughter runs away and while waiting for her return, she reflects on the relationship she WANTED with her teen daughter, not the one she ended up having. She also explains her own years as a teen girl, coming of age during the Vietnam era, a teenager with racist parents yet who sent her to a Catholic school, about her first love, her first friends, her first heartbreak.

It's a touching story, a quiet story. What a wonderful first novel, and with the voice of a woman, to a teen girl, author George Bishop surprisingly captures the female psyche perfectly. Anyone who's a parent should read this.
